Dear Robert;
Hotel Idamont
OnMonday January 5, 2009 I visisted the Hotel Idamont building in Rexburg Idaho to observe
the existing ceding joists. I understand that in some areas the ceiling will need to support an
additional layer of 5/811 Gypsum board for fire reasons,
The typical floor framing is made up of 2 %x" wide by IS V21' deep rough sawn joists spayed at
1611) ox. Some of the ceiling assemblies will be attached directly to the floorjoists and some will
be dowered ceilings with ceiling joists or suspended furring. The existing framing for the upper
floor is more than adequate for the additional loads to be added to the ceiling below. The ceiling
may be attached directly to the joists or suspended from them.
In the instances where the ceiling assembly will be attached to eeil�ng joists, the attached table
should be followed:
Ceflina Framin
2x4 Joists at I6" o.c.
(2) 2x4 Joists at 16" O. c.
2x6 Joists at 16W -q-5 o.c.
1075 - V- - 0 '0 I P M
The ceiiing joists may span from wall t(:) wall or they may be suspended from the floor-oists
above at the contract,ors discretionO
The addition of the 5/8"gypboard ceiiing should not affect the overall structural integrity, of the
existing building.
Please contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Chris Zweifel, P.E., S.E.
